To (ZZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HARRY N. PLANT, a citizen of the United States, residing at Biddeford, in the county of-York and State of Maine, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements inDress-Charts; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention,.such as Will enableothers skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This lnvention relates to improvements 1n adj ustable'd ress-charts.

The object of the invention is to provi'de achart of this character which may beadjusted at all-points, thereby enabling the parts of a garment to be accurately cut by the same to insure the perfect fitting of the garment.

With the above'and other objects in view the invention consists of certain novel features of construction, combination, and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter de -b scribed and claimed.-

In the accompanying drawing the figure is a plan view of the chart,

Referring to the drawing, in which a skirt pattern is shown, 1 denotes the front piece thereof, said front piece being formed of upper and lower sections adjustably connected together by means of rivets 2, which are adapted to engage vertically-disposed slots 7 3, formed in said upper and lower section's.

Secured to the upper end of the front strip. 1'

is an upper segmental templet 4, said templot being adjustably secured to the upper end of the strip or piece 1 by means of, a rivet 5, secured thereto and adapted to engage a slot 6, formed in the templet 4.

.To the rear end of the templet 4 is .adjust ably connected the upper end of a rear-strip I 7, said strip being adjustably connected to the templet 4 by means of rivets 8, which en gage slots 9, formed in the end of the templet 4, as shown. The strip 7 is preferably formed of upperand lower sections adjustably connected together by means of. rivets 10, which are adapted to engage vertically-disposed slots 11, formed in said upper and lower sections. To the upper end of the strip 7 is pivotally connected a triangularly-shaped templet 12, the upper end of said templet being adjustably connected to the upper end of the strip 7 by means of-a rivet 13,. which is adapted to engage .a slot 14, formed in the upper end of the templet 12.

Pivotally connected to thelower end of the strip 1 at the rear side of the same is a lower segmental templet. 15, said templet having formed in its lower edges a series of radially-disposed notches 17, adapted to be engaged with a button or stud 18, which'is seprojects laterally therefrom. By means of the lower segmental strip 15 of the adjustable connection between the upper end of the strip 1 and the templet 4 said front strip 'l justrnent of said sections and templets may be had'to form a perfectly-proportioned pattern from which the goods or material may be cut, thus insuring a perfect fit after said goods or material has been made up. d

From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, the construction and operation of the invention will be'readily understood without requiring a more extended explanation.

Various changes in the form, proportion,

and the minor details of construction may be resorted to without departing from the principle or sacrificing any-of the advantages of this invention.

Having thus described invention, What I claimas-new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is v 1 An adjustable dress chart comprising a skirt-piece consisting of front and rear strips formed of upper and lower adjustably-connected sections, an upper segmental templet adjustably connected to the upper sections of said front and rear strips, a lower segmental templet pivotally connected to the lower cured to the lower end of the rear strip 7'and graduated scales 42, whereby the proper adend of said front strip, said templet having my hand in presence of two subscribing wit formed therein radiallydisposed notches, a nesses.

button or stud connected to the lower end of r 7 said rear 'strip with which the notches in said HARRX 5 templet are adapted to be engaged, substan- Witnesses:

tially as described. B. R. JORDAN,
